Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature according to Boyle's Law?
  • Step 1: Understand that Boyle's Law deals with gases.
  • Step 2: Remember that Boyle's Law applies when the temperature of the gas is kept constant.
  • Step 3: Know that pressure is the force that gas particles exert on the walls of their container.
  • Step 4: Know that volume is the amount of space that the gas occupies.
  • Step 5: Boyle's Law states that if you decrease the volume of a gas, the pressure increases.
  • Step 6: Conversely, if you increase the volume of a gas, the pressure decreases.
  • Step 7: This relationship is called 'inversely proportional', meaning one goes up while the other goes down.
  • Step 8: The mathematical expression for this relationship is PV = constant, where P is pressure and V is volume.
